Knocks In the Head

Like a dull needle to the head It scorches the veins Violently raiding The neck can not turn With the kitchen above Pain scowls Drawing to the temples Running to the forehead The bridge screams At the side of the nose With veins throbbing Ready to burst and bleed Disrupted, the power source weakens And the body now hangs By the spine, limbs run dead The heart beats loud Heavy but slow The blood rushes At the high You wouldn't believe; A thin girl With pressure that screams Death At any day For as so the blood reaches Shivering body Useless for walks Tightens the lungs With airs sucked in It's release is unlikely Like an under weighted model Lights to the eyes Brighter than any In those past days Seem to laugh today Blinding the sight And causing veins to fight Pounding through skin The temples keep them back With it's speed Sound strikes the drums Causing sights of blur Resting away makes it worse Veins pressed to the pillow Throb by the weight of the head And it's compression by the pillow Tossing and turning does not save the pain So the pills are taken To make them die away By the hour that passes Weakness is still there But the pain no longer exists Only for now
